When to Raise Money
Only raise when you have traction or a clear path to it. Bootstrapping is underrated.
Building Your Pitch Deck
Your deck needs: Problem, Solution, Market, Business Model, Traction, Team, Ask.
Finding the Right Investors
Look for investors who have backed similar companies at similar stages. Warm intros work best.
Due Diligence Prep
Have your financials, cap table, and legal docs ready before you start conversations.
Closing the Round
Run a tight process. Set a deadline. Create scarcity. FOMO is your friend.
